(Shimadzu Scientific Instruments: Columbia, MD) -- Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has introduced the AIRsight infrared/Raman microscope, which provides a two-in-one solution for molecular analysis. This unique system is equipped with a Raman unit available on Shimadzu’s AIMsight infrared microscope and compatible with the IRTracer-100, IRXross, and IRAffinity-1 series Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers.

The AIRsight infrared/Raman microscope improves analytical efficiency by making it easy to perform all process steps, from sample observation to data analysis. The instrument also increases accuracy because users can obtain qualitative infrared and Raman spectra at the same position without moving samples on the same stage by simply switching lenses. The system incorporates Shimadzu’s proprietary wide-view camera and microscope camera for infrared measurements and objective lens for Raman measurements. The wide-view camera shares positional information with the microscope camera and objective lenses.
